Dixon, who had led off the bottom of the third inning with a home run to spark a four-run outburst, connected off Crushers reliever Yeison Santos, a former River Walker, on his hit in the eighth.
It scored Becerra, who had singled with one out. A two-out walk to pinch-hitter Dan Hillard had moved Becerra to second.
